PEG-5 OLEAMINE.

Valuable CAS 26635-93-8 / SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

PEG-5 Oleamine is an amphiphilic compound primarily employed as a surfactant and emulsifier in skincare formulations. Its molecular architecture, possessing both lipophilic and hydrophilic moieties, efficiently reduces interfacial tension to stabilize heterogeneous mixtures.

Science

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of PEG-5 Oleamine involves its action as a primary surfactant and emulsifier. By positioning itself at the interface of immiscible liquids, it significantly lowers the surface tension. This enables the formation and stabilization of emulsions, where oil and water phases are uniformly dispersed, enhancing the texture and performance of the formulation.
